Controlling Sonic Pi via MIDI

This is something I plan to give a go. If anyone has some relevant resources that could speed up getting started, please let me know.

How cool is this!?

I plan to prepare a bunch of sequences that I can use the controller to toggle through. A lot of work and design into how to utilize each nob, and how it would map… but could be interesting nontheless.

In the end I would want to get some beatpad / MPC jobby instead, and mix some live produced (really its choosing from a set list of pre-configured patterns) in with prerecorded tracks using the standalone controller.

I made some progress.

I was able to connect the Denon SC Live 4 to my Ubuntu/Linux laptop, running Sonic Pi and run a program that took midi events as input.
